    SUBJECT: DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE DENNIS BLAIR'S
    MEETING WITH PRESIDENT CALDERON, OCTOBER 19

    Classified By: Ambassador Carlos Pascual.
    Reason: 1.4 (b),(d).

    ¶1. (S/NF) Summary. DNI Dennis Blair met with President
    Calderon for about forty minutes at the Presidential Palace
    on October 19. The bulk of the discussion focused on
    cooperation on intelligence sharing and the integration of
    operations by Mexican intelligence and law enforcement
    authorities. Calderon also commented extensively on
    political developments in Latin American and the role of the
    United States. While he said the United States had regained
    significant stature in Latin America, he also urged greater
    U.S. involvement in the politics of the region. Several
    upcoming elections will be critical in shaping the region's
    political course. The U.S., he said, needs to be seen as a
    critical player. End Summary.

    ¶2. (S/NF) The issue at the heart of the discussion was that
    Mexico must continue to improve its coordination and response
    capacity among its own security forces to act effectively on
    intelligence leads regardless of the source, including
    Mexico's own internal intelligence channels. Mexico's
    Federal Police still largely bases its operational capacity
    in Mexico City. The Secretary of Defense (SEDENA) is more
    decentralized, but has yet to define a cooperative platform
    to work with the Federal Police. When operations are
    undertaken in rural areas with difficult terrain, the
    complexity of moving large security operations in a short
    time frame may often result in targeted individuals escaping
    from these operations. Calderon said this situation made him
    "very sad," and that it was a "great mistake" on their part.
    Further, Calderon indicated that he would assess the
    possibility of creating a joint strike force capability.
    (Note: In separate subsequent meetings, a discussion was
    launched with GOM officials on the possibility of undertaking
    a simulated exercise that would begin to test how multiple
    agencies could cooperate together (septel). End note.)

    ¶3. (S/NF) Blair underscored that the fight against crime has
    to move beyond high-value targets. "Cut the head off this
    snake and new heads will grow." Blair said the key
    ingredient to success is generating community confidence to
    call in tips against drug traffickers. To get that, people
    need to feel secure -- they have to believe that the police
    can maintain public safety. And it also means that
    intelligence has to be used quickly, effectively, and
    responsibly. Intelligence, operations, and institutional
    capacity have to be interwoven. Calderon agreed. He
    responded, "You made it very clear. Without attacking the
    body as well, we can't win. And we have to create the
    capacity to take on the body."

    ¶4. (S/NF) DNI Blair asked Calderon for his perspective on
    political developments in the region and how the United
    States could continue to increase its diplomatic
    effectiveness. Calderon emphasized that Venezuelan President
    Hugo Chavez is active everywhere, including Mexico. He went
    out of his way to highlight that he believes Chavez funded
    the PRD opposition during the Presidential campaign nearly
    four years ago. Chavez uses social programs, including
    sending doctors, to curry political influence, and there are
    governors in Mexico who may be friendly to him. Calderon
    said that Mexico is trying to isolate Venezuela through the
    Rio Group. Calderon also commented that he is particularly
    concerned about Venezuela's relations with Iran, and that the
    Iranian Embassy in Mexico is very active. Calderon
    underscored that Iran's growing influence in Latin American
    should be of considerable concern to the United States, and
    Chavez is doing all he can to aid and abet it.

    ¶5. (S/NF) Calderon exhorted the U.S. to watch Guatemala and
    Belize, since their internal weaknesses make them vulnerable.
    He is concerned about Mexico's southern border, and said the
    GOM is starting a strategic planning process to better treat
    the topic. (Note: Calderon is scheduled to visit Guatemala
    next week. End note.) Calderon later in the meeting raised
    the southern border again as an area for U.S.-Mexico
    cooperation. Ambassador Pascual noted that the U.S. and
    Mexico were to hold the next day a joint conference on the
    Guatemala border to combat arms trafficking from the south.

    ¶6. (S/NF) Circling back to Venezuela, Calderon said that
    Chavez has no qualms about involving himself in Latin
    American elections, and that he tried to do so in Mexico's
    own 2006 presidential contest. The region needs a visible
    U.S. presence, he noted. Chavez, said Calderon, will also
    have the opportunity to do so in a number of upcoming votes,
    especially Honduras. Most importantly, said Calderon, the
    United States must be ready to engage the next Brazilian
    president. Brazil, he said, is key to restraining Chavez,
    but he lamented that President Lula has been reluctant to do
    so. The U.S. needs to engage Brazil more and influence its
    outlook. In closing, Calderon said that there is a link
    among Iran, Venezuela, drugs, narcotics trafficking, and rule
    of law issues. The U.S. should look at Latin America from an
    interconnected perspective.
